SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
– maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
– Only use replacement bars and chains specied
by Stanley Hydraulic Tools. Chains must meet
the requirements of ANSI B175.1 for low kick-
back performance.
• Always be well rested and mentally alert before op-
erating the chain saw.
• Do not allow other persons to be near the chain saw
when starting or cutting with the chain saw. Keep
bystanders and animals out of the work area.
• Do not starting cutting until you have a clear work
area, secure footing and a planned escape path
from a falling tree.
• Carry the saw with the unit de-energized and the bar
and chain to the rear of your body.
• Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush
and saplings. Twigs may catch the saw chain and
be whipped toward the operator or pull the operator
off balance.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert
for springback so that you will not be struck when
the tension on the limb is released.
• Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil.
• Do not operate a chain saw while in a tree unless
you have been specially trained to do so.
• When using tools near energized transmission lines,
be sure to use only hoses labeled and certied non-
conductive.
• Turn off the power unit or move the hydraulic control
valve to neutral before setting the saw down.
• Use a guide bar scabbard when transporting the
saw.
• Know the location of buried or covered electrical
services before starting work.
• To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, all
tool repair, maintenance and service must only be
performed by authorized and properly trained per-
sonnel.
